In the field of scientific franchises, Stargat may not receive the recognition he deserves. After starting his life as a blockbuster film, he switched to the small screen starting with the wildly successful "SG-1". This has led to the entire spin-off universe, with hundreds of episodes on TV produced over 13 years. But all the good things end up, and the end of this franchise When "Stargat Universe" was canceled by Sefi after two seasons. Unfortunately, the cast had to find out about it with everyone else.

The deadline He announced his cancellation of the show in December 2010, with the news quickly making rounds on Twitter. As reported by fans Gate At the time, David Blue, played by Eli Wallace, learned from the social networking site that his show was not returning for the third season. "Grpi. I just heard the news. Obviously, no one decided to tell us ahead of time, "he announced on Twitter at the time. "My representative heard him online. They seem to have canceled SGU. " Ming-on Wen, who played Camille Wray, had a similar experience, tweeting the following:

"To find out that SGU is canceled first of my twitter is the power of Twitter. Misse I miss my family a lot! Thank you for your LOVEBOOK AND SUPPORT!"

"Stargat Universe" is important because it was the last show to keep the franchise alive. "SGU" follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians who are forced through Stargat when their hidden base is attacked. Desperate survivors appear on an ancient ship, which is on an unknown course. Unable to return to Earth, the group must try to unlock the secrets of the ship's starvet to survive.

Other actors and crew members shared their thoughts on giving up the show on Twitter at the time. Many of them were, understandable, sad that they saw the show. However, more than the usual sadness, there was some tension behind the scenes. Co-creator of the series Brad Wright, through TV after numbersHe expressed his frustrations in November 2010:

"I don't think if we leave for any reason, that's a problem necessarily about the quality of the product we made. I think we move to the schedule hurt us. And the fact that some of the fans who loved SG-1 and Atlantis were so angry that they deliberately hurt us, unfortunately. "

Indeed, the "Stargate Universe" was transferred around the schedule of a little bit of syiffs. The network was prone to frustrating decisions within this franchise: "Stargate SG-1" was almost canceled after Season 8 Thus, they could take another spin-off, namely "Stargat Command". It did not happen, but it is easy to see the creators being frustrated by deciding. Anyway, in an open letter from Sefi to fans shared by Gate In May 2011, the network claims that cancellation is a purely business decision:

"We started the show on Friday where we had the most success and where it initially did well, and we left it there until it started to fight. When it was clear, the show fell to an unsustainable level and would not survive on Friday, even then we moved it to the night where our highest ranked show of all time was recently broadcast. "

The grades were simply unsustainable, and that was it. For this beloved franchise ended. There were Canceled movie "Stargeate" that will collect all the plays togetherBut that never happened. Save for Stargate Origins web pages, this was the end of the road - and many of the people involved had to learn about it from Twitter.
